In a new translation and with additional materials - a magnificent novel by the modern classic David Mitchell, two-time Booker Prize finalist, author of such intellectual bestsellers as “Dream No. 9”, “Cloud Atlas” (recently filmed by Tom Tykwer and the Wachowski brothers), “ Hungry House" and others. In The Bone Clocks, Mitchell continues and develops themes explored in Cloud Atlas and deepened in The Hungry House. “Beautiful story, beautiful language, everything is beautiful,” Stephen King wrote about The Bone Clocks. “One of the best novels of the year, in no way inferior to Donna Tartt’s long-awaited The Goldfinch in literary depth.” “A triumphant, stunning, dizzying journey around the world,” echoed the venerable Ursula Le Guin in her review. “The frightening, dark depths of The Bone Clocks are boldly hidden behind the witty tricks and verbal laces woven by the inimitable storyteller David Mitchell.” So, meet the main character: “Holly Sykes, a simple English girl, is in no way inferior to Holden Caulfield” (Booklist). She runs away from home one hot summer day: a wayward teenager, a broken-hearted rebel, an unwitting pawn in a secret global conflict. She once heard the voices of "radio people" - but now the mystery of one lost weekend will come back to haunt various key moments in her life. And year after year she puzzles over what her seven-year-old brother Dzeko meant when he handed her a cardboard with the “infernal labyrinth” and ordered her to memorize it: “When you walk through this labyrinth, the Darkness follows you relentlessly...” “The Bone Clock.” is a superb work by a master that can be read with pleasure both as a literary mystery and as the extraordinary story of the life of an ordinary woman over six turbulent decades."
